Not exactly a creepy crawly but this is Canberra National Golf Course on a normal day.

The golfing can't be all that exciting, the spectators are find it a bit hard to stay awake.

cool, i've only see 'Roos at a zoo. i do understand that they can be quite dangerous as they grab with their front paws and raise their hind legs for a disemboweling kick
 
how about that sweet little critter that shares our beds and drinks our blood as we sleep
Now do you know the meaning of "Don't let the bedbugs bite" means?

I hope not, they are coming back with a vengence. DDT had them almost exterminated but with its removal: "They're Back"
over-the-counter sprays do not work and even professionals can't always get all of them
 
they can also be in the carpets, springs, wood work, etc. people have removed everything, even repainted and "They're Back"
often funigation of he whole house. apparments are even worse as the come in from other apartments even if yours is/was clean
People who stay in motels/hotels can bring them home with them
 
just teasing, diddy, you're lucky to be alive. those claws on the hind legs can rip open a belly like a knife. the boxing kangaroo "trick" is just them doing what they do naturally, close with and try to kick the enemy
 
time to get back to a really creepy: the camel spider. not really a spider, no fangs or poison and no web but they are carnivorous and their bite rapidly becomes infected. they can run at 10mph and hate the sun so they try for any available shade. if that is your shadow they will move into it and if you move they follow giving the impression that they are chasing you.
